Meet Nalu Babe Emily Bernstein

Meet Emily Bernstein, a 21-year-old model from Tampa, Florida, now calling Melbourne, FL, home. You can find her on Instagram as @emilymbernstein.

Emily loves Nalu Bay Swimwear for the variety it offers—there's a swimsuit for every style and personality. She’s all about the fun, colorful options that make everyone feel confident and beautiful in their own skin.

When she’s not modeling, Emily enjoys spending time at the beach, hanging out with friends, or visiting Disney. She’s also a fan of surfing and pilates, staying active and keeping a balanced lifestyle.

Modeling has always been Emily’s dream job. Describing herself as outgoing, spontaneous, and sympathetic, she’s naturally drawn to the creative world of fashion.

Her biggest inspiration is her mom, who has always been her number one supporter. Her mom’s strength and determination have taught Emily to follow her dreams with confidence and to push through any challenges that come her way.

One of Emily’s proudest accomplishments is becoming a model. Growing up watching Project Runway and America’s Next Top Model, she dreamed of walking a runway. Now, she’s making that dream a reality and is proud of the steps she’s taken to get there.

Looking to the future, Emily’s biggest goal is to walk in Miami Swim Week—something she’s dreamed of since she was a child. She’s passionate about supporting other women in the industry and is excited about the opportunities ahead.

Fun fact: Emily grew up as a competitive ice skater and competed across Florida and the U.S.

Her advice to younger followers: “Believe in yourself, never give up on your dreams, and ignore the naysayers. When I was younger, people told me I wouldn’t make it in modeling, but here I am, taking the steps toward my dream. If you want something bad enough, no one can stop you from achieving it.”
